Well, that starts being a KO criterium. I'd like to see a laptop like this:
- one or two serial interfaces - modem - IrDA - TFT display, with a nice graphics chipset (I'd like to have ATI, but with a good, free driver, and it's own RAM, no UMA stuff...) - Large HDD - Good akku, best with possibility to plug an external extra akku onto it - PC like keyboard layout (with the 6 keys above the cursur keys kept togeather, not as a row on the keyboard's right side or so...). I don't need those Windows(R) extra keys, neither do I need extra "email", "web" ot the like keys... - CPU (i386, ppc, ...) doesn't really matter, but of course I'd like to see Linux support:-) - network interface (100MBit/sec is okay, GBE is nice, too:-) - Floppy - CDROM, maybe DVD or CD-RW or sth like that, but that's IMHO not that important. - parport - VGA out (I personally don't need TV in/out) - USB? Well, I don't need it:-) I don't like it... - Firewire. Yeah:-)
Anyone?
